- Crosses the Line Twice: Zouken's thoughts regarding Sakura's "training."Sadly though, tonight was not a night to be filled watching a girl repeatedly be violated by his Crest Worms. ‘That’s what Tuesdays are for,’ he thought with dark chuckle.
- Fan Nickname: Many readers have dubbed Berserker!Cú Chulainn as "Lancerker"
- Heartwarming Moments: Almost all of Ilya and Artoria's interactions, as they develop an almost sisterly relationship over the course of the story.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: With the appearance of Artoria as a Lancer in Fate/Grand Order, Saber being summoned as Lancer in this fic seems much more plausible.
- Except for the fact that the Lancer summoned in this fic is NOT the one in Fate/Grand Order: this Lancer still uses Excalibur as a Noble Phantasm, not Rhongomyniad. And she also doesn't have the endowments Fate/Grand Order Lancer Artoria (and her Alter) has.
- Don't forget Cú Chulainn Alter is a Berserker in Fate/Grand Order as well.
- Nightmare Fuel: Cù Chulainn's Warp Spasm is Body Horror at its finest. Even worse, it's mythologically accurate - but this story downplays it.
- Tear Jerker: Archer's flashback about his first summoning as a Counter Guardian.
